The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is the largest annual international Alpine Skiing competition. It is considered the premier Alpine Ski racing competition, along with the Olympic Winter Games and the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.
The Alpine Ski World Cup was established in 1966 by a group of ski racing enthusiasts, including French journalist Serge Lang and the Alpine Ski team directors Honore Bonnet from France and Bob Beattie from the USA. International Ski Federation president Marc Hodler soon backed the new competition during the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1966 at Portillo, Chile, and it became an official FIS event in 1967.
The inaugural World Cup race, a Slalom, was held on January 5, 1967, in Berchtesgaden (Germany).
The 2025-2026 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup will be the 60th World Cup season in Alpine Skiing for both Men and Women.
The season kicks off on October 25, 2025, in Sölden (Austria), and will conclude on March 25, 2026, at the Finals in Lillehammer (Norway).
The 2025-2026 FIS Alpine World Cup season will include 38 races for Men and 37 for Women, taking place before and after the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
The highlight of the coming season will be the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano-Cortina. The XXV Olympic Winter Games are scheduled to take place from February 6 to 22, 2026, in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games will be the fourth Olympic Games hosted in Italy, following the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, and the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo were selected as the host cities on June 24, 2019, at the 134th Session of the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Some returns, new venues and, of course, the Classics will be on the Ski Circus next winter.
The races will mainly take place at ski resorts in the European Alps. There will be a stop in North America at the end of November and the beginning of December. Returning to Europe, the Alpine Ski World Cup will visit some of the sport's most iconic venues, including Val Gardena and Alta Badia in Italy, Val d'Isère in France, Adelboden and Wengen in Switzerland, Kitzbühel and Schladming in Austria, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. The final events will take place in Scandinavia in March, culminating in the Alpine Ski World Cup Finals in Lillehammer.

From 21 to 25 March, the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2025-2026 Finals will take place in Lillehammer, Norway. This marks the first time since 2003 that the World Cup Finals will be held in Norway. The speed events, Downhill and Super-G, will be held in Kvitfjell on March 21–22, while the technical events, Giant Slalom and Slalom, will take place in Hafjell on March 24–25.
Following the last changes, the Men's calendar is now more balanced, featuring 18 speed events and 20 technical events. These include a second Downhill in Beaver Creek and a switch of the Super-G in Crans-Montana to a Downhill. Of these, there are just nine Downhill events and nine Super-G competitions. In the technical category, there are nine Giant Slalom races and 11 Slalom events, totalling 38 competitions held across 19 ski resorts.
A slightly less balanced calendar was presented for the Women, with 17 speed events and 20 technical events, including nine Downhills, eight Super-Gs, and 10 Giant Slaloms and Slaloms, totalling 37 competitions held across 20 ski resorts.
Copper Mountain (USA), a key venue on the Freestyle circuit, is making a return to the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup calendar for the first time in decades. With an upgrade to its lift system, the Colorado venue will host its inaugural World Cup Men’s Super-G on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, followed by a Giant Slalom on the next day. This will be the first time Men have competed there since 1976.
On Saturday, 29 November, the women will make their competitive return to Copper Mountain after 24 years, with a Giant Slalom followed by a Slalom on Sunday.
Livigno will replace the Classic event in Bormio with a Super-G on December 27. Meanwhile, Crans Montana will join the Men’s tour with a Downhill race, which will serve as an important test event for the upcoming 2027 Alpine World Ski Championships.
The Women are returning to Val d’Isère, France, in December after a one-year absence. Two new venues have been scheduled for the races in January: Tarvisio, Italy, will host speed events on January 17-18, followed by technical races the following weekend at Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic.
At the end of January, Crans-Montana (Switzerland) will host test events in preparation for the 2027 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. The venue that hosts the World Championships has traditionally also held the previous season's World Cup Finals. However, this year, the test events, two women's speed races and a Men's Super-G, have been rescheduled to reduce climate-related risks and ensure optimal snow conditions before the Olympic break.
The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Finals for 2025-2026 will be held in Lillehammer, Norway, on the slopes that hosted the 1994 Olympic Winter Games. Hafjell will host the technical events, while Kvitfjell will stage the speed races.
*The FIS Council Spring Meeting held in Vilamoura (Portugal) released the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup provisional Calendar for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. In June 2025, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) Council officially approved the 2025–2026 Alpine Ski World Cup calendars for both Men and Women.
The 2025-26 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup calendars were presented again in Zurich (Switzerland)Â from September 24-26, 2025, with some changes from the original schedule unveiled in Vilamoura.
